Choosing the Right Identity and Access Management Solution for Healthcare

Identity and access management (IAM) systems reside at the center of cybersecurity strategies, providing the core identification, authentication, and authorization services required to create secure technology environments.

Hospitals, health systems, and other large organizations have struggled with IAM solutions for years. Their unique needs have long stretched the limits of IAM technologies, which were mainly designed to support the more straightforward requirements of traditional firms.

The rapid pace of adopting new cloud services is another critical factor driving the adoption of commercial IAM platforms. Teams find themselves stretched beyond their limits, keeping up with the demand to integrate newly adopted services.

Commercial IAM platforms offer healthcare organizations a variety of important benefits. Institutions that have not already migrated away from homegrown approaches will likely do so in the coming years. The selection of a new IAM platform is a decision that will affect the organization for years to come.
